Port of Gdynia
SEA TOWERS, 10 LUTEGO, JANEK WISNIEWSKI, ST MARY'S CHURCH, SWIETOJANSKA


Gdynia has a large seaport. The main avenue, 10 Lutego, leads from the city center to the seaport, where you find the new landmark of Gdynia, Sea Towers, that are also the tallest buildings in the Tricity area. You will also find an artifical peninsual, Southern Pier, that is an extension of 10 Lutego. At Kosciuzko Square, that was visited by the former pope in 1987, there are several fountains and monuments dedicated to seamen. The Polish Navy has their headquarters there. From the seaport there are regular car ferry services to Karlskrona, Sweden.

Sea Towers is a mixed-use skyscraper is the tallest building in Gdynia and the Tricity area and the second tallest residential building and 10th tallest skyscraper in Poland (2014). It has since its completion just next to the sea in 2009 became the foremost symbol of Gdynia. Sea Towers consist of two buildings connected with a 5-storey skybridge, the tallest one is 125.4m to the roof (143.6m to the antenna) and has 36 floors, the lower one has 28 floors. Even thought it looks much more modern then most other highrises of Gdynia, even this building is built in grey and white colours. More, lower highrises are built around it. The apartments have nice views over the Gdansk Bay.
